8 Hairstyles Inspired by Lady Gaga

In addition to her insane musical talent and impressive ability to entertain, Lady Gaga is a fashion and beauty icon around the world. Her zany hair styles -- along with equally bizarre wardrobe and makeup choices -- intrigue, befuddle and inspire millions. Though many of Lady Gaga's ever-changing hair styles wouldn't pass in the real world, you can let her locks inspire a haircut that's more street appropriate. So, the next time you're at the salon, treat your hair as an artistic canvas and search within to find your inner Gaga.

Sleek, Colored Bob
Lady Gaga is no stranger to the bob. In fact, she's sported bobs of varied lengths, colors and textures. Try a sleek bob that hits the nape of your neck and dye it a rich, slightly unnatural color like platinum blonde, burgundy or orangish-red.

Shaggy Chin-Length
Though the music queen is a fan of sleek hair, she's also worn her share of shaggy, unkempt styles. This longer bob is versatile and can be worn in a number of ways. Try yours shaggy and unkempt or keep it sleek for more formal events.

Big And Curly
Big curls in short hair give an almost afro-like appearance and is a style Lady Gaga has revisited over and over again. To achieve this look, place medium barrel curlers in shoulder length hair and use hairspray and a texturizer to keep them in place.

Platinum Blonde
Lady Gaga's addiction to color is obvious, but she's also a fan of a colorless hairdo. Take your hair to Gaga-dome by bleaching it a silvery, platinum blonde. Because of the chemicals and lengthy process involved, it's best to seek a professional's expertise.

Dark Hair with Bright Color
While many associate Lady Gaga with her platinum blonde tresses, the singer has also worn her hair very dark. If your complexion allows, dye your hair a deep, dark brown or black. For extra Gaga oomph, add streaks of colors. Contrarily, try a platinum blonde with streaks of pastel hues like pink, blue and purple.

Afro-Licious
Lady Gaga famously rocked a matted afro on the June 2009 cover of Rolling Stone Magazine. Though the fact that she was wearing nothing but a suit of pink bubbles probably intrigued audiences as much as anything, her unconventional coiffure turned heads, as well. It doesn't matter what your skin color is -- anyone can rock an afro with the right haircut, treatment and products.

Severe Bangs and Long Hair
This particular haircut is a dead-ringer for a few of Lady Gaga's most popular hairstyles. It's one of the few that doesn't require toning down to become street appropriate. You can wear severe bangs and long, straight locks as a brunette or a blonde. Lady Gaga has worn hers both ways.

Faux Hawk
While we haven't seen Lady Gaga wearing a true mohawk or faux hawk yet, it wouldn't be surprising if she ever did. You don't have to shave your head to achieve the mohawk look. Instead, brush your hair to the center of your head and pin. This looks especially interesting on short or curly hair.
